Hi Juergen,
I've had a look and the svn:eol-style property seems to be present in the patches. Perhaps I've missed a file or two?
Dave,
I've had a look at the dot_gitattributes file and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it. The main issue is that there are a lot of inconsistencies with files of the same extension, so pretty much no matter what you change in the .gitattributes you will end up with issues. For the svg, we could change the type to binary, but that would potentially create a lot of noisy commits if people regenerate them on different platforms. It seems like the only proper fix is to correct the problems at the source.
Because the git repositories are continuously rebuilt from SVN, correcting the problems at the source means checking fixes into SVN. I support that approach. You don't need anything from me in order to do that; just do it! -- Dave Abrahams
